Praise for Another Kyoto
*(2018)*
Kerr's way of questioning and puzzling through is hugely enjoyable
in its own right, and pleasingly infectious.
*Spectator*
Captivating, informal ... Kerr is the perfect guide.
*Guardian*
Rich ... Kerr's combination of instinct and erudition serve him
well ... there is something fresh and chirpy about the text, even
when it deals with the most esoteric or arcane of subjects.
*Japan Times*
